[Mos Def]I dreamt that I could paint you in wordsBut there were no colors, bright enoughBlack or white enoughBlue or green enoughIt didn't mean enoughYou are the star to touch the earthShine bright for all eyes to see,Radiate and touch meNow I'm shining like you doIt was dim before I knew youBright light for weeping eyes to get used toTrust who? That's some shit I had to adjust toSoon as you relax they ease back and cold bust youLove murdered in Brooklyn, sound the alarmBut you still remain calmMy passion is unarmedI try to practice my warlike tacticsBut in your clutch, in your touchMy armor, just collapsesSuch bliss breeds obliviousnessI recollect sweet breath still wet on my lipsMy prayers this:God protect my belovedAnd keep her coveredFrom the valley to the summitLike the land undiscoveredLike the stars outnumbered, you are so beautiful.

[Chorus:] background singers [kweli & Mos Def]

Beautiful[I'm doing my best so I can be true to you]On your knees[aint nothin in this world I wouldn't do for you]In my life[you're my everything more than ever and usual]On my feet[like the stars outnumbered you are so beautiful]Beautiful[you shine so very far from where I stand]Come to me[from a distant land understand who I am]Down again, we can wash it over me.]

(Talib Kweli)

You know what!They say that beauty's in the eye of the beholderSo I use my third, and now our love is solid like a boulderWanna build with you as I get older, and that's my wordSure as I stand on my ancestor's shouldersYou see through my drama and my world like a stageNot the same years but livin in the same ageIts the kwelity not the quantityFollow meDef-in-ate-ly,Far from probably.Got to be, you and meBeau-ti-ful-ly fit,Like pieces of a man I used to beNow I'm back because of what you do to meYou're like my reflectionThe better half to my wholeLike lyrics to the beatYou're the mate for my soulThe breath for my life, my sister and my loverUsed to have cold feet, now you're the warmth under my coversI can't ignore your aura because it grab me by the handLike the moon pull the tide (mos & kweli)and the tide pull the sand
